Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary delivery .
Everything I have purchased from Russia have been delivered by USPS but with very high delays, apparently the delay happens in the US due to customs, Lew, at some point I used to be a big supporter and believed on the idea of supporting the Federa... 
Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary delivery .
Not sure why the Japs do this but the US always takes the back of the bus. As a matter of fact in the US a few distributors got the first few orders of this specific turntable first than in other countries, as early as end of June, the UK for ex... 
Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary delivery .
Luis, see my hypothesis above. Yeah I get it Lew, the delay most likely due to filling demand at Asian markets first.All I was saying is that it amazes me how fast (even with covid) delivery is from Japan to the US 
Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary delivery .
Hey Chak, Lew is correct, I get packages from Japan either DHL or FedEx within 3 to 4 days, faster than from the West coast. Japan post yes it will take forever or won't ship to the US. The delayed from Technics in producing these units is really ... 
Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world
I thought we were all familiar with Duke, no need to look for him on YoutubeYou can see him here asking Bruce Willis if he wants to buy 4 or 6 subs.https://filmdaily.co/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/ianholm-07.jpgFull disclosure I am a happy owner of... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
@chakster thank you for pointing out the dimensions, you are correct it cannot be mounted on the PD-444's existing stock mounts, what @dgarretson is saying is different, it is adding a pivoting board to add the arm.I don't have the PD-444 yet, it ... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
@dgarretson Thank you so much, I will certainly PM you, a good friend of mine has a workshop where he makes furniture with wood and metal, I installed the CNC control computers for him, and Solidworks too, he can design anything and have the route... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Thank you @chakster , for the tips. I'm excited rediscovering analog, my 1200mk5 which supposedly is not an audiophile class TT sounds great compared to my digital, I would say different. I can only imagine the possibilities with the PD-444 and tw... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Have a question for you experts, just remember I am learning about analog and some things I might get it wrong.Just recently acquired a PD-444, the ability of mounting 2 tonearms and looked in good condition it made it hard to pass by, still waiti...

Got an update yesterday September 16th that Technics is still delayed, I just hope the dealer is accurate and not providing fake news. Don't want to miss the train on this one. If any of you have any updates please post  
Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming
While I'm far from an expert in tone arms and Chaks opinion might be expressed trivially as I'm sure there are modern tonearms which could be pretty looking to most people, I think Chak like myself admires things made in a past time of a golden er... 
Swarming!
Going over this thread re reading it again@noble100 I run all 4 of my subs in mono because there’s no such thing as stereo imaging with deep bass below 80 Hz. Plus there’s virtually no recorded music with discrete bass channels below 100 Hz, anyw... 
Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary delivery .
Whenever I get some news I will post back, believe me I am concerned too the dealer might not received the TT and I will end up with no TT at all and miss the chance.  
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
I'd like to get eventually a second TT, the Victor TT-101 could be the one or a PD-444 
has anybody else noticed this about singers?
Hey @frogman perfect example yes, he is one of a kind, he (like someone else mentioned above) doesn't sing, he speaks (most of the time), yet with an incredible sense of timing, I have tried to sing his songs and I'm always out of sync with him bu...
